Blog Detail

Let’s go back to our previous blog, i.e. Blog No. 19, in which we had shared a few thoughts towards fixing the major issues in the Academia and the Industry leveraging each other to set up and sustain the best Engineering Task Force. Let’s think of a few “good” ideas to facilitate the fixes.

Fix

Facilitator

We need to enable and facilitate sustained “socialization” between the Academia and the Industry.

Industry working with Academia on Technical Developments for meeting “below-the-horizon” requirements.

Academia working with Industry to gather inputs periodically to update their curriculum to enhance the career prospects of the pass-outs.

Creating panels of experts in various domains with membership from both Academia and Industry.

We need to facilitate harnessing of the resources across the Engineering Institutes.

Creating low-cost easy access to the resources supported by a periodically-updated database of strengths of the Engineering Institutes.

Introducing regulations to ensure that the above is implemented.

We need to create a far more vibrant Engineering Support Ecosystem (“infiDOF Ecosystem”) compellingly attracting the best and most of the opportunities available at any point of time.

Creating forums and platforms for encouraging all the elements of the ecosystem to meet and interact periodically.

Creating a pool of experts to review the ecosystem status periodically, and share the input on what need to be sustained and what need to be initiated.

Please note that a Facilitator for a particular Fix could work as a Facilitator for another Fix as well. For example, creating panels of experts in various domains with membership from both Academia and Industry could contribute immensely towards “compellingly attracting the best and most of the opportunities available at any point of time”.
